Houston quarterback Case Keenum, the only FBS quarterback to throw for more than 5,000 yards this season, was an easy first-team pick on the Rivals.com All-Conference USA team.

Two of the three teams to beat Houston - East Carolina and UCF - combined to have six players on the first-team defense and four more on the second-team defense. Five of the six defensive line slots went to ECU and UCF players.

One of the UCF players on the first team is true freshman cornerback Josh Robinson, who was the only freshman to make either squad.
